Proof of Entangled Particles being Indetermined

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but how do we know that entangled particles don't "choose" their states when they're separated? If possible, choose the most basic example. Thanks!

They require very careful experiments to show this - however, the difference is in the statistics and the proof is Bell's inequality. Any experiment that verifies this has demonstrated the effect.
